For those of you who remember, the old DaniWeb API went away over the summer when we switched to the Dazah platform. We have a new little API launched now to access articles/posts. However, you can now use Dazah to connect with the entire DaniWeb community. https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/api

Hey everyone, Sorry that private messaging is still down. It's one of the main features that is being implemented through Dazah. Unfortunately, it wasn't until sticking it into a production environment when I realized that its performance is subpar and the algorithms need a major overhaul. That's what I've been …

What's the current status of the API following the update to tags? For searching, can ony see: `http://www.daniweb.com/api/articles/search?query=blah` which gives the same results regardless of the query text (and the 'members' equivalent, which seems to work). Was there not a tags endpoint before? Can't remember. Anyhow, was thinking of a …

It's time yet again for a DaniWeb Developer Competition!! This time the goal is to utilize [our new API](http://www.daniweb.com/api/home) launched last month. There's a lot that you can do with our API. Essentially it allows your application (web, desktop, mobile, etc) to tap into DaniWeb's backend. Your own application can …

A few new OAuth-related API features. Firstly, there is now the concept of scope. So if you want to do things like spy on a member's private messages or chat on their behalf, you now need to pass in the required scope (details in API documentation) to ask for more …

# The nature of this tutorial ... This tutorial is designed to walk you through DaniWeb's implicit (clientside) OAuth flow. This is not designed to be an introductory tutorial to OAuth, and we will expect that you are already familiar with the nature of OAuth and/or have read our tutorial …

This was posted in a behind-the-scenes forum yesterday, but here it is for everyone today: There have been a LOT of changes so far, and more to come. Most of what's happened so far has dealt with OAuth. A lot more security on the backend and more in line with …

There is full read and write chat functionality now added to the API :) Who wants to write two-way IRC<-->DaniWeb Chat integration? ;) Any takers ... ?? You need an access token in order to post, but it's feasable if you create a new DaniWeb account named "IRC Bot" and …

DaniWeb, the 10 year old IT discussion community with more than a million members, is always looking forward and never stops introducing new features and functions for users. When spammers managed to get the better of the (highly customised) vBulletin forum platform which had been driving DaniWeb since the get …

Just asking about the relevancy/meaning of 'page' in requests based on 'members'. e.g. http://www.daniweb.com/api/members?page= http://www.daniweb.com/api/members/{:IDS}?page= When used in this manner, I seem to get a random bunch of members (when not set to 1), regardless of IDS. How many members/page ?

Here's my base class and class for the unauthenticated DaniWeb API calls. Not every method has all features implemented yet, and it's not been fully tested either. Here's how to start using it: include 'DwApiBase.class.php'; include 'DwApiOpen.class.php'; $dwapi = new DwApiOpen(); $result = $dwapi->GetMemberActivityPoints(94719); $result = $dwapi->GetMemberEndorsements(94719); $result = $dwapi->GetMemberReputationComments(94719); …

OK, as promised, here's an updated 'quick(!) and dirty' class for retrieving and setting data via the Daniweb API. It allows the extraction of data based around: # DATA RETRIEVAL & SETTING # ## non-OAuth ## * forums * articles * posts * members * activity points * endorsements * …

# As of 4/4/2013 # This class has now been updated and posted here: http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/code/451674/all-in-one-daniweb-api-class# # ORIGINAL POST # This code can be used to retrieve a forum list with various options with regard to display. This class could be extended for articles, posts, etc etc. The retrieval methods include …

## RSS Class ## The code snippet is a PHP class for retrieving RSS feeds from the DaniWeb website. There are two exposed methods, one for retrieving the list of predefined article types, and another to get a specific RSS feed. If you pass parameters to this method, there is …

## API Mashup ## This example is a mashup of [diafol's class](http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/code/451428/daniweb-api-class-for-getting-forums), [Dani's parsing code](http://www.daniweb.com/api/documentation) and [my class](http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/code/451390/daniweb-api-rss-class). It uses diafol's dwAPI class to retrieve a list of all forums, loops through them, and uses my Rss class to get the respective RSS feeds. It will show each forum in …

Had a good few hours over the last few days. So playing with the API and decided to do a custom badge thing. http://dw.diafol.org/en/dw-badge/ Needs some work, but concept seems to be OK.
